Hole transport layer engineering in high performance quasi-2D perovskite blue light emitting diodes

초록

Quasi-2D perovskites have emerged as highly promising materials for application in perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), garnering significant attention due to their outstanding semiconductor properties. These materials boast an inherent multi-quantum well structure that imparts a robust confinement effect, particularly advantageous for blue emission. However, the development of blue emitters utilizing quasi-2D perovskites encounters challenges, notably colour instability, multipeak emission, and suboptimal fluorescence yield. The hole transfer layer (HTL) on which the perovskite layer is deposited in PeLEDs further affects the performance and efficiency. In this review, we delve into the evolution of blue PeLEDs and elucidate the optical properties of quasi-2D perovskites with the primary focus on HTL materials. We explore different HTL materials like PEDOT:PSS, metal oxides, and conjugated polyelectrolytes as well as ionic liquids, and their role in enhancing the colour stability, minimizing interfacial defects and increasing the fluorescence yield. This review endeavours to provide a holistic perspective of the different HTLs and serve as a valuable reference for researchers navigating the realm of HTL engineering towards the realization of high-performance blue quasi-2D PeLEDs. The graph tracks EQE in blue PeLEDs from 2015 to 2024, with trend lines for deep-blue, pure-blue, and sky-blue wavelengths. Noticeable improvements, particularly in 2021 and 2023 for pure-blue and sky-blue, reflect focused technological advancements.
